# wp-admin/admin.php is blank … ??

 * New user, first experience with blogging software, and first time install of 
   WP 1.5 on localhost to learn it before I put it up on a remote server. I have
   Apache, MySQL and PHP installed, all recent versions. Installing WP went perfectly.
   The only thing I don’t understand is when I go to wp-admin/admin.php, all I get
   is a blank page.
 * How do I access the admin tools so I can style WP, or do anything else? The documentation
   is slightly confusing to me, so I had to finally ask here. 🙂 Thanks for any 
   help.

 * [http://your-domain-here/wp-admin/](http://your-domain-here/wp-admin/) is the
   link you need.

 * Yes, when I go to [http://localhost/blog/wp-admin/](http://localhost/blog/wp-admin/),
   I then see the directory listing (“Index of /blog/wp-admin”). So where do I go
   from there?

 * you should’nt be seeing a directory listing as when you goto /wp-admin/ it should
   redirect you to wp-admin/index.php.
 * You might need to add in a htaccess file the following line as I’m not sure how
   to manually set it in apache to not list directories:
 * Options -Indexes

 * Ah, ok. Thank you. It’s very late here now, so I’ll try first thing in the morning
   and post back with how it went.

 * Ensure that you have index.php added in httpd.conf. Make modification as shown
   below:
 * DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.jsp index.php index.htm
 * # DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
    # is requested.

 * Go to your Apache folder (wherever you placed it on your hard drive), then into
   the conf folder, and in there is httpd.conf
